January 19, 2021We were super excited to host a comedian for our Holiday party and Dobbie did not disappoint. Our team had a few cricket moments but he was able to bring everyone back in and even had crowd interaction! Thanks for a great time Dobie!

I can't be more grateful for how professionally I was treated by Jenny and the entire company. This was a rough year for everyone, and thankfully 2021 is off to a MUCH better start thanks to this. Thank you!

November 6, 2017We booked Dobie for a fundraiser- the event was centered around an Oktoberfest-themed beer tasting. Dobie was a hit. He was personable, very funny, and his material was a lot of stuff the audience could relate to. I had a lot of positive feedback from attendees. Dobie also hosted our live auction and did a great job. Thank you for everything, Dobie! I hope our paths cross again!

October 21, 2017Dobie was a real hit with our group. He was able to relate to the varied ages and differences in our audience and "play" off of their responses. His show is "clean" and very entertaining. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dobie Maxwell is one of the top touring comedians in North America. His live show is a whirlwind of words, a virtual verbal vortex. Every time he is on stage, Dobie tests the stamina of the audience. His slick ranting style has earned him a loyal and growing fan base, and his knack for saying what a lot of people think has kept him constantly booked from coast to coast. Dobie works very hard at his craft and has spent his whole life learning it.
Bizarre luck and horrendous timing have followed Dobie since his birth. His life continues to be a struggle to overcome obstacles most others never have to worry about. “I don’t know what it is, but I just haven’t been able to get myself in the right place at the right time”, he laments. It’s very frustrating for him, but it sure has made audiences all over laugh like crazy. We all love to hear that somebody ELSE is doing WORSE, and Dobie is that guy.
